The &quot;Big Brother&quot; attitude of some life insurance companies - to control the recipient's use of a strucutred settlement - runs counter to basic American ideal of individual responsibility.  I don't want the government telling me how I can and can't spend my personal income - and I sure don't want an insurance company doing it too!  The laws that have been passed to allow &quot;factoring&quot; are a good first step.  I hope that the two industries can one day reach a global peace and streamline the &quot;factoring&quot; procedures.  If not, then perhaps look to applying the same disclosures and restrictions to the primary market - where structures are first formed.]]></description></item><item><title>Matt Bracy @ Settlement Capital comments on Protecting People From Themselves</title><author>Matt Bracy @ Settlement Capital</author><pubDate>Wed, 11 Apr 2007 15:34:00 +0000</pubDate><link>http://blog.setcap.com/the-settlement-capital-blog/2007/3/29/protecting-people-from-themselves.html#comments</link><guid isPermaLink="false">79861:684636:comment/776650</guid><description><![CDATA[Thank you for that comment Paul.  I think a lot of people are somewhat confused by this issue.  I wrote about factoring annuity payments in an article late last year (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://blog.setcap.com/the-settlement-capital-blog/2006/12/5/briefly-why-you-can-assign-even-when-it-says-you-cant.html).">http://blog.setcap.com/the-settlement-capital-blog/2006/12/5/briefly-why-you-can-assign-even-when-it-says-you-cant.html).</a>  I have also recently recorded a video podcast interview with Mark Wahlstrom specifically on this issue of factoring structured attorneys' fees, which will be published soon.  There can be some variable issues involved here, but generally speaking, if an attorney's fees were structured using a fixed single premium annuity, then the payments can be factored and no court order will be required.  If you would like to discuss this in more detail, please contact either me (mbracy@setcap.com) or Kirk Hughes (khughes@setcap.com), or give us a call at 800-959-0006.  ]]></description></item><item><title>Paul comments on Protecting People From Themselves</title><author>Paul</author><pubDate>Mon, 09 Apr 2007 22:11:27 +0000</pubDate><link>http://blog.setcap.com/the-settlement-capital-blog/2007/3/29/protecting-people-from-themselves.html#comments</link><guid isPermaLink="false">79861:684636:comment/774263</guid><description><![CDATA[An attorney client of mine asked if he was able to factor his attorney fee structure if something happened.  I've received different answers, ranging from &quot;no&quot; to &quot;yes, but they need a court order&quot; to &quot;yes, they fall outside the structured settlement protection acts and don't need a court order&quot;.  <br/><br/>What's the right answer, if any?]]></description></item></channel></rss>
